Travel Writing

http://wesaidgotravel.com/contests/india-walking-krisha-home-school/


I did not realize this was published! It is in an online travel journal.

I'm in!

This is one of the most exciting days in picture book writing! Tons of great speakers all on my computer! No need to get dressed or drink convention coffee!

Agent?

Finally heard back from the potential agent. He is speaking at Write to Publish conference I am attending in Wheaton in June so we plan to meet up. He has read all my stuff. So at least he thinks it is worth the time to meet.....Even if he will just handle the Christian submissions because those doors are totally closed!

Tuktuk!

Here's to you Write 6! You all knew this little guy as a North Pole rat and formed him into Tuktuk - here he is!

Magazines and mental adjustment

Children's publishers are bringing out a lot of new nonfiction magazines - on science, history, anthropology, travel. I suspect some of my recent writings would be better magazine articles. Case in point is A Good Place for Ducks, based on a true story of environmental awareness in Japan. I need to adjust my sights to see publication as getting the story out rather than holding a book in my hands.

Day 5 - still alive!

Typed a Welsh tale today. Cedwyn: the Dragon who Cried, "Knight!" Pretty rough but at least I resisted rhyming!
